| Abstract |
A 13-month-old girl presented with red finger marks on both shoulders thought initially to be secondary to child abuse. The appearance of the marks was not typical of bruising of the stated age and there were no social concerns or other medical features of child abuse. Direct questioning revealed that the mother had been gardening on a sunny day and had picked the child up prior to the appearance of the marks. The marks are thought to represent a phytophotodermatitis. Many paediatric skin conditions can mimic child abuse. Recognition of this further possibility will prevent avoidable errors of diagnosis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 November 2020.
All research outputs
#7,753,975
of 23,577,654 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Pediatrics
#1,529
of 3,869 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#6,030
of 21,193 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Pediatrics
#1
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,577,654 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,869 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.7. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 21,193 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
